Can Juvederm or Restylane Be Injected on the Forehead?

Dear Trish
You have a very good question and are correct about the 'off label' use of fillers in the forehead but it can be done safely.
The combination of the fillers and Botox can give a very long lasting and pleasing result.
With Warm Regards,

Hi Trish,
Both Juvederm and Restylane can be used "off-label" to fill the vertical forehead lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). In fact, when Botox and either Juvederm or Restylane is used concurrently in this area, there is a synergistic effect that creates a very long lasting (many times permanent) elimination of the lines, even when the Botox wears off.
If your dermatologist is uncomfortable injecting in that area, certainly do not have him/her inject you. You do need to choose a very well trained and experienced injector for this treatment as severe complications have been reported if injected in the incorrect manner.
Good luck and be well.
Dr. P
